navigating complexity, building resilience
Consistent with the Recovery Model (SAMHSA), we recognize the benefit of participating in outpatient psychotherapy while remaining engaged in our lives. Sometimes our concerns totally remit, but often our genetics, personality and learning history combine to create an experience that we manage--for better or worse. We can use psychotherapy to optimize that management through better understanding ourselves and others, clarifying our values and goals, identifying and countering unhelpful beliefs and cognitive distortions, within the context of recognizing the degree/limits of our influence on the greater social/environmental world. Often, people find this active role in treatment affirming and fulfilling; accordingly, our treatment approach at MPS includes interventions designed with the the goal of building and sustaining resilience.
